Jonathan also shared an update on how the wedding preparations are coming, noting that he and theNew Girlactress, 44, have been so busy that they “literally haven’t had time to just stop and think.”

However, Jonathan did reiterate that they wanted to “keep it intimate” as weddings can be “very expensive” depending on what they choose to include in the ceremony. Drew teased that he was “pretty sure it’s going to have escape rooms” — referring to the couple’schoice of activity on their first date— “sushi, some sort of shows, a theater.”

TheCelebrity IOUstar previously told PEOPLE in May that he and Deschanel were planning on holding multiple wedding events, including a small ceremony and a bigger soirée to celebrate with family and friends.
